New Pants Yell!: "Magenta and Green"

Oh my goodness! What with a Tullycraft and Airfields single already you think this Fall couldn't get any better, but wait – it totally has! We've known about a new Pants Yell! record in the works for a while now, but no idea what it might sound like. Well we wait no longer, on December 4th Soft Abuse will release Pants Yell!'s third full length, Alison Statton. The album – named after cute little Young Marble Giants frontwoman, Alison Statton – is a fairly big step for the band, bringing in saxophone, trumpet, glockenspiel, and even the occasional flare of feedback this time around. I expected a change though, but I was still pretty worried what might happen to the band's sound after Carly left. However, there's no need to worry anymore, because if the rest of the album is as ace as "Magenta and Green", then they're still very excellent. To put it simply, "Magenta and Green" is the epitome of modern indiepop.
